Detecting a cluster of proteins leads to 130 brain diseases

According to a study published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, scientists have discovered a bunch of proteins that play a crucial role in the development of more than 130 brain diseases.

The study shows a surprising link between these diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's , and the development of human behavior.

The human brain is the maze of millions of specialized neurons connected to billions of synapses.

The proteins in synapses combine to form a molecular set called the posterior posterior scale ( RSD ). It is the RSD that breaks the function of adaptation and causing diseases and changing behavior.

The lead researcher, Seth Grant of the British Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, said they have separated PSD from synapses of brain surgery patients.

" We found more than 130 brain diseases related to PSD, more than originally anticipated, " Grant said . PSD is at the center of a series of diseases affecting millions of people. '

In addition to the diseases associated with normal neuronal degenerative disorders, PSD also involves both epilepsy and autism.

So far, the combination of 1,461 proteins has formed PSDs encoding specialized genes.

According to the research team, the findings open new avenues for treating brain diseases as well as helping doctors diagnose and classify brain diseases better.

" The structural preservation of these proteins shows that behaviors controlled by PSD and their diseases have not changed much over the past million years," Grant said.
